Hemp Pesto
| This pesto really shows off our delicious and tender shelled hemp seed, evocative of pine nuts and sesame. With our fermented fava bean umami paste taking the place of the usual Parmesan cheese, it happens to be vegan too. It's superb as a pasta sauce but also good stirred into a potato salad, as a dip, or on bruschetta. |

Just seen this on James Martin show, so thought I’d check it out. Inspiring & encouraged to eat more pulses, love your recipes :)

Farmer's Pea Pie
Inspired by classic British Shepherd's Pie but using split green peas in place of traditional lamb mince, this Farmer's Pea Pie from the Cook & Him makes an equally comforting and satisfying vegan alternative. A splash of soy sauce and a dash of our umami paste give a wonderful depth of flavour. It's deliciously topped off with a rich yeasty root veg mash.
Wrinkled Pea Masala
Inspired by Felicity Cloake's Perfect Chana Masala, this simple but satisfying recipe substitutes whole wrinkled peas for the usual chana or chickpeas. It's delicious with either (or just about any whole pulse) but the especially high resistant starch content of wrinkled peas provides more nourishment for your gut flora.
Roasted Squash With Emmer Wheat & Lentil Pilau
This superb dish of bold, autumnal flavours was inspired by Mother Root's Ginger Switchel and created by Jenny Chandler. Featuring our Pilau Mix #2 and seasonal squash, it’s perfect for early autumn days. Serve with a Switchel & Soda garnished with a slice of pear for the ultimate feel-good night in.
